Upgrading an Ultra-1 to Solaris 9

Is it possible to upgrade a
SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
to Solaris 9?
Is it truely an upgrade or will it remove my data on my boot disk.
Also, if I was to order a new internal hard drive(boot disk), what do you recommend.
Thx,
Rob

Hi,
Yes, you can upgrade the OS to either Solaris 7 or Solaris 8. Since you are upgrading OS better to do on Solaris 8 now itself. During Installtion process, it will detect your current partions. You may choose upgrade OS option in first step. It will help you to preserve your current data partions. It may expect equal amount of disk space free to make a copy for the partions on which you may want to preserve data during installation process.
The second choice is you may take ufsdump backup of the your data file systems and then do fresh OS installation of Solaris 8 and then restore required data portion. Only care to be taken is the partion size should be same for which ufdump backup/restore will be done.
Hope this helps. If any questions, let us know.
Thanks,
Santosh

Is it possible to make a DVD rom work on Sparc Ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6?

I have been asked to try and get a DVD drive to work on a sparc ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6.
Its been a while since I have done much with an ultra 5. My first reaction was no. However I thought that I should ask just in case it can be done.
Its got to be Solaris 2.6 because of other applications running on it. I believe that the DVD has been installed using an IDE cable.
Can anybody give me any advice?
Thanks
Phil

I have a vague recollection that the filesystem structure of DVD versus CD
(and perhaps its capacity differences... )
I said the recollection was vague...
are why the DVD optical media was not functional or usable.until Solaris 8.
Try an experiment.
Put such a drive into the system, get a copy of CDRTOOLS for Solaris 2.6(SPARC)
[http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc26.html]
and see if you can do anything with it.
Better yet, suggest to the system's owner that they go do it.
It'd be a learning experience for them.
I agree with Harold that Sol10 would be too much for that beastie.
The sweet spot was Solaris 7 or 8.
Edit: ... and give the Duke Stars to Harold.

Parallel port programming for a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8

Hi I'm trying to look for information about reading/writing to the parallel port of a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. I'd just like to see some basic programs written in C, nothing fancy, just reading and wrting to the port, getting the port address etc. toggling the lines.
I've tried searching for this information and there is plenty of information about PC parallel port programming with windows or Linux. But there seems to be little for Sun's
I've tried doing 'man ecpp' but that doesn't really give any clear example. What I need is an idiots guide.
I've tried searching this Forum and I see that other people have asked the same question before but no one has replied to them. Why is this?
Thanks if you can help.
fishman.

The key is gettting the port into diag mode. Here's a quickly little example that turns all the data pins on and then turns them off:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stropts.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ecppio.h>
int fd = 0;
// ecpp structures
ecpp_transfer_parms etp;
ecpp_regs eregs;
// returns -1 if error otherwise returns fd
int openoutput()
fd = open("/dev/ecpp0",O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) { return -1; }
// default is 90
etp.write_timeout = 10;
// the big secret
etp.mode = ECPP_DIAG_MODE;
ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_SETPARMS,&etp);
return fd;
unsigned char in()
unsigned char data;
// from the man pages
ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_GETREGS,&eregs);
data = eregs.dsr;
return data;
void out( unsigned char data )
write(fd,&data,1);
int main( void )
int dummy;
openoutput();
//all data pins on
out( 255 );
scanf("%d", &dummy);
//all data pins off
out( 0 );
scanf("%d", &dummy);
close( fd );
return 0;
}

Ultra VNC for Solaris

Is anyone running Ultra VNC on Solaris. We are currently running Real VNC rel. 3 on Solaris. Unfortunately, we have encountered some issues with fitting the application properly on the screen. Ultra VNC for Windows allows the ability to modify and change display to better fit screen. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

NVIDIA GeForce 2 Ultra drivers for Solaris 8

I am having trouble making the GeForce 2 Ultra drivers from NVIDIA. I have the latest gcc and make from GNU, but I keep getting errors. Has anyone been able to successfully load them and get them to work with the GeForece? Thanks in advance.

unixforall,
I had the same problem under linux. I can only tell you what I did for Linux as I haven't had a chance to download Solaris yet. Get the following file:
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.2/Install
If you follow this step by step (it is very self explanatory) then you should end up with a few binaries that are compatible with the GeForce. In particular the XFree86 X server module. I don't know if there are any other catches with Solaris but with Linux (RH7) this worked like a charm (except I overwrote my previous config files and had to reinvent the wheel - be careful backup all config files if you are going to overwrite them). Anyway I hope this is of some use.

Upgrade default java version in Solaris 8?

I have Solaris 5.8 running on sun blade system. Default Java version is 1.2.2 and user need it to upgraded to latest version of Java so, I installed jre1.6.0 (combination of 32-bit install and 64 bit install). Now I can't point solaris to look at the newly installed java version. I have tried to change the path variable in .cshrc but it is readonly to root and group is deamon. I also tried changing the symbolic link from /usr/java to /usr/jre1.6.0 but it is still looking at default version of java1.2.2.
I need help as I don't know much about Solaris to upgrade this java. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
solaris_newbee

After installing, you need to update the '/usr/java' sym link to point to your new root installation. For example, I installed jdk1_5_16 at /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_16/ and then added this symlink:
ln -s /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_16/ /usr/java
You may need to remove the symlink that is already there before it will allow you to successfully create the new one.
There are several other dependent symlinks in /usr/bin that use /usr/java, but you only have to update /usr/java.
From one noob to another.

NIC on Ultra 10 with Solaris 10 not running

Hi,
I have a couple of Old Ultra 10's. I've installed Solaris 10 on both of them. I tried to give them a point to point connectivity using a Cross-over cable. But, when I do a ifconfig -a on both of them, I get it as
<UP, BROADCAST, MULTICAST> MTU ...... if you noticed here, I did not get them as RUNNIING. I have given them private IP's 192.168.1.1 and .2 and they are both on 255.255.255.0. I have them both plumbed and up with the above IP and netmasks. but they do not ping each other. I wonder where I am wrong. Can somebody gimme a insight into this, as to what has to be done to rectify this problem. One of them had the MTU value as 8232 and the other one at 1500 so, I gave the one with 8232
# ifconfig hme0 mtu 1500
1. Are the IPs correct ?
2. Are the net mask values set right ?
3. Should any of the files need to be updated?
4. what about the /etc/defaultrouter does this have to do anything with the servers not pinging each other ?
5. Does the NIC driver need an update for Solaris 10 ? If so can you pls specify the link for me to download ?
Advice Pls.
David

I've had tremendous trouble in the past with making crossover ethernet cables function properly on some Ultra 10 machines. As far as I'm aware, it should have the same hardware as other Sun models, but that's the only one I've had real problems with.
I've had several jumpstart setups that failed until I was able to bring in a hub or switch instead of working them back-to-back.
So no direct help from me, I'm afraid. But it could just be the hardware. Use 'kstat' (or the ndd method) to check if the link is up. No link, no traffic. Until that happens your questions 1-4 are irrelevant. Question 5 is a good one, but no, Solaris 10 would include the hardware drivers. And for equipment as old as the Ultra 10, I'm guessing there haven't been many recent updates.

Mounting External Drive Array on Ultra 10 (Sparc) - Solaris 9

The IDE drive on my Ultra 10 died. The Ultra is connected via scsi to a drive array that has 6 hard drives in it. I replaced the IDE drive in the Ultra 10 and installed Solaris 9 but I have no idea on how to get the system to recognize the external drive array. I am not a big Unix user so any help would be appreciated.

1. Telling us about errors doesn't help. It's much easier for the rest of us to actually see what the error message is.Ok, reasonable request...
I'll try burning the disk at a slower speed. Thanks for the tip.

Boot problem for Ultra 60 running Solaris 9

I have a Sun Ultra 60 which, until the beginning of this month, was running Solaris 9 just fine. Following an emergency stop, the system refused to boot. At the ok prompt the boot command drew the response
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0 file and args:
after which the system would hang, responding only to a mechanical power-off. The command boot -F failsafe gives the response
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0 file and args -F failsafe
Boot load failed
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable
after which the system returns the ok prompt without hanging, but without booting either. All OpenBoot (v. 3.23) test and diagnostic commands return normal responses.
Raising the diag-level to max, changing the diag-device to disk, and setting diag-switch? to true gets the same responses, with the following additional information:
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk0,0 File and args -F failsafe
Loading ufs-file-system package 1.4. 04 Aug 1995 13:02:54
FCode UFS Reader 1.12 00/07/17 15:48:16
Loading: /platform/SUNW, Ultra-60/failsafe
Loading: /platform/sun4u/failsafe
Boot load failed
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable
after which the system returns the ok prompt without booting.
Some fixes which do not work: I tried booting from CD, either the Solaris 9 software CDs or the Solaris 8 software CDs (obtained directly from Sun); these yield
Redirected to slice: 1
Loading: /platform/SUNW, Ultra-60/ufsboot
Loading: /platform/sun4u/ufsboot
after which the system hangs (only mechanical shutoff works), or if the flag -F failsafe is used, the failsafe file is loaded, ``the file just loaded does not appear to be executable,'' and the system returns the ok prompt. I also tried making a bootable floppy disk by installing a bootblock, the ufsboot executable, and the kernel/unix executable from a working SunBlade 150 onto a floppy. The command boot floppy works as above, and can be forced to load the ufsboot file from the floppy, but ``the file just loaded does not appear to be executable''; the system returns the ok prompt without booting, but at least without hanging.
Presumably this is a bootblock problem, or an OpenBoot problem. But how can I restore a system (restore what?) which will not boot in the first place? Any advice is much appreciated.

Some additional information which may (or may not) shed light on this problem: If the system hangs with diag-switch? set to true, then powering off and back on becomes rather difficult. The power-on led on the front panel may flash for several minutes, with no display on the monitor. If there is no CD in the cdrom drive and no floppy in the floppy drive, the led goes off (the system is on--I can hear the hard drives spinning) for about a minute, after which the test lights on the SCSI peripherals light up, and the monitor comes on. It shows a long series of ``Probing ... '' lines which look normal, followed by the usual banner, followed by ``Resetting memory at ...,'' which runs through a series of addresses. This is followed by ``Power On Self Test Failed Cause: SIMM U0701,'' then the usual ok prompt. Then all the OpenBoot commands except boot appear to operate normally. So--
1) Is this a hardware failure of one of the system's DIMM memory cards? Would that, in itself, account for the failure to boot, both from disk and from CD?
2) If so, and replacing this card would solve the problem, is the required DIMM a generic item or a component specific to the Ultra 60?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Hello,
I don't think it is a kernel problem but a h/ware problem.
CPU 1 reported an ecache (sram) data parity event,
the fault handling code in 5.9 can't do anything about the
error as it is in a page belonging to a user process so it reboots the box.
The no error found in ecache means that either the
fault handling code displaced the error from the cache or there
wasn't one and you had a transient transport error between the
cache and the cpu.
I would engage your h/ware support vendor to work out what h/ware component is broken as these things are quite complex, but the score of 95 would (to a h/ware novice like me) point to cpu 1 being the culprit - but check with an expert.

Lost root password Can't get in to reset.........Ultra 5/10 Solaris

Just bought an Ultra 5 Sun desktop at the thrift store. This thing is brand new and was still in the box. Fired it up and come to find, it has never even been configured so I did so myself. I entered a User name and then followed that with setting up a new password for the first time. The system reboots on it's own and goes to a point asking for my Name and then password. Only problem is the password will not even type into the bar that requests it. Do I need to reset it and if so how?

Hi, boot with single user mode using cmd boot cdrom -s,then use passwd cmd to change root password.if it doesn't work.mount your root slice as /a,then edit /etc/shadow file and delete root passwd entry.I hope this tip fix your problem. : )
